"Ahhh!", chisom screamed from the bathroom where she was .

   It's been six months chisom left her parents to stay with her so called friends and according to her, she has been having what she called the time of her life as she also  got admitted into the university.

"Babe, why are you shouting", mide asked Chisom looking worried.

"Am fucking pregnant", chisom screamed again.

"How",suzan asked.

"The pregnancy test kit confirmed it na", chisom cried.

"You go commot am na"(You will abort it then), Big mama said nonchalantly and left.

"I can't abort a baby", chisom cried.

"Who is the father",suzan asked.

"Sola", chisom shouted.

"Sola!",suzan and mide exclaimed as chisom continued crying.

      Two weeks after chisom and Sola met in the club , they started dating before a fight broke out among cultist and she found out she was dating the capon of  a cult group.

     Chisom couldn't believe it when she found out,he was the best, very calm that no one could suspect he was involved in such an act.

     He was finally rusticated and arrested when they were caught and Chisom was left devasted and in shock. Thanks to mide, suzan and Big mama who stood by her but this.

"How is she going to handle it",she thought.

"What am I  going to do",chisom asked looking at th girls.

"I think you will have to abort the baby",suzan said in a whisper but loud enough for the rest to hear.

"No, I  can't"

"What if  I die in the process", chisom asked.

"Nothing go do you"(Nothing will happen to you)

"I dey do am all the time"(I do it every time),Big mama said as chisom looked at her disdainfully.

"Am not you old cargo",chisom said.

"Who you dey call old cargo"(Who are you calling old?),Big mama said.

"Am sorry",chisom said calming down.

"Better",Big mama said and hissed.

    As far as the girls were concerned, they dare not disrespect Big mama cause she paid most of the bills in the house.

"Am going to keep this baby and train him or her to be a better person",chisom said finally after moments of silence among the girls.

"Then get ready to leave this house cause I can't stand any baby disturbing my sleep in the night", suzan said and hissed.

"You better think about it",mide said as the girls left chisom alone to drown in her pool of thoughts.
   
     How was she going to train a child?

     She has no qualification?

     She depended on Bigmama for her fees? 

     How was she going to do it?
  
    These were the multiple questions she asked herself but got no answer to any. Just then she remembered the words of her mom and dad the day she left the house

   If you leave this house , you will regret and will never come back the same understood. Those were the exact words of her father.

  Nwam Biko(My child please), don't go you will regret your decision. Those were the exact words of her mother.

           Their words came rushing back to her memory and it was then she realised the  damage she has caused herself and the only thing that could escape her lips were........
           "HOW I WISHED I HAD LISTENED TO MY PARENTS".
